Dear all I owe big time to sajha guys (especially Nepe) to correct me with my endevors. I thought at one time, Sajha is not the real place for ghazals as the readership is the issue. Anyway, here I am. Thanks newuser and more are on the way. I read your chanda baddha kabita. It was great. Sitara, Let me take the chance to explain the above ghazal. dont mind hai. Ghazal are nothing more than independent collection of shers (2 lines) and the standard ghazal has 5 shers (min). lets not go into the technical aspect. The ghazal I wrote, all the shers correspond to destruction and death. The 2nd sher was motivated from the famous, Pulitzer prize winning Picture of an african boy and the vulture waiting for him to die. the 3rd sher is the modified version of the saying "Braves die once but the cowards die many times" the 4th one is my own thoughts. I imagined a boat stuggling to stay afloat. The sea sympathizing the boat and its surfaces break apart. (The sea surface never breaks apart right, but it did here). the sympathy of the sea actually proved detrimental to the struggling boat. sher 5 is the after effects of Tsunami, the tremors. The earth is shaking to clear the water that Tsunami has brought in the aagans. more later. Keep inspiring me. This thing actually works. thanks.
